Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 16 ounces sliced mushrooms (preferably Portobello)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked + cooled brown rice
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Wok
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced Portobello mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are tender and have released their moisture.
  2. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, allowing the flavors to bloom and the garlic to become fragrant.
  3. Push the mushroom mixture to one side of the skillet. In the cleared space, pour in the lightly beaten eggs. Scramble them gently until just set, then mix them into the mushrooms.
  4. Add the cooled brown rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the mushroom and egg mixture.
  5. Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Stir everything well to combine, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the rice is heated through, remove it from the heat. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top. Give it a final stir, and your 30 Minute Portobello Fried Brown Rice is ready to serve!

Notes

  • Always use cooled brown rice to prevent clumping and ensure even frying.
  • Fry in batches if necessary to allow for proper browning.
  • Adjust soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste for the best flavor.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with scrambled tofu.
